wat are peoples thoughts on him?? was playing backline for sandy for most of the year but i reckon he is more of a forward who can kick big goals. accurate kick, quick and has vice like grip.

how many games would you expect him to play?

doesn't strike me as a reactive type thinker or instinctive reactions. more a solid intelligent thinking his way through methodically defender type. I think he's good.

I have not seen a massive amount of the kid, but he has seemed ok in what i have seen. A bit of promise there but whether that continues and blossoms who can tell.

 

I think he is going to be a player with some talent but in the end. Just isn't quite up to it (AFL standard)

i was at one game i think against port melbourne where he really looked good, almost jared riversesque. is suited to the backline. unfortunately he seemed to drop off throughout the remainder of the season. I spoke to Mick Malthouse at a willytown v sandi game and he said the pies had a really good look at him. not sure where he was taken in relation to goldsack but id suggest for mick it was one or the other.

i think next year he will dominate vfl playing CHB. he wont take the big hits and needs to be stronger in the contest, perhaps with a pre season in the gym he may take more confidence into next year. his real strength is like rivers for me is his ability to read the play. but again needs to be much stronger in the contest.

Not too many, but providing he continues to improve that's okay.

Too early to judge whether he'll be a player or not IMO.

FUnny you say that, because the best thing I saw him do all year was his deft tap on in the forward line to a running player while he was airborne and under pressure

The player he tapped it to went on to kick a goal

Cant remember who we were playing , but it was a beauiful play. Very quick thinking

early potential...interesting to see what Cream does with him

 
i I spoke to Mick Malthouse

You didn't look into his eyes did you?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
